SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Function
elf_getshstrndx() retrieves the section index of the string table containing section names from descriptor
elf and stores it into the location pointed to by argument
ndxptr. Function
elf_getshstrndx() is deprecated. Please use
elf_getshdrstrndx(3) instead.

Function elf_setshstrndx() sets the index of the section name string table to argument ndx.

These routines allow applications to process both normal ELF objects and ELF objects that use extended section numbering uniformly.
